FTR is having an incredible year and things only got better for them at Forbidden Door. The AEW stars won a three-way match to become the new IWGP Tag Team Champions. The duo were interviewed backstage after their big win. They first claimed that they will make the Japanese people fall in love with them, the same way as America.
FTR then went on to explain that this win makes them one of the greatest tag teams in the history of the business. Now their names should be written beside teams such as The Hart Foundation and The British Bulldogs:
We\’re Gonna Make New Japan Our House
\”We\’re coming New Japan. We\’re gonna make New Japan our house. We\’re gonna make it our house because we are the absolute best tag team on this planet. As we have been here in America, we\’re gonna make you Japanese people fall in love with us. You know why? Because we love you. We\’re bringing our fighting spirit, FTR\’s fighting spirit to Japan.\”
\”I think now here in America they could put our names beside the Midnight Express. Now they could put our names beside the Hart Foundation, The Bulldogs, Demolition. The list goes on and on. But now we\’re coming to Japan. Now we\’re coming to New Japan and we\’re bringing these [titles] with us.
\”You can write our names on the same notepad as Muta and Hase. You can write our names on the same Notepad as Bam Bam Bigelow and Vader. You can write our name on the same notepad as the Steiner Brothers. Because right now I\’m telling you, none of those three teams can measure up to the greatest tag team of all time – FTR.\”
